·In my understanding, those extract from the archives in Sala didn't even come from the UG factory itself hence the poor examples shown.
Besides, whose archives do you think it would be, if not UG's ?
Compur with calibre 283. Thoughts?

·According to Sala, these archives are the one from the factory and still preserved by U.G. in Geneva...

UG's archives but not directly from their factory archives. Maybe I'm wrong since I'm not an expert on this but that's my understanding.

Tell us a little more where your information about this comes from. What is the origin of the documentation photographed in Sala?

As I said that I'm not an expert on this, but all I know is that the documentation that comes from Universal archives are only those 800 something in black and white photos that comes with the case references. I assume those bad example watches that mostly in coloured photos wouldn't come directly from the archives.
Also, when you said below for the UG factory archives as a sequel to Sala, obviously you're talking about different archives than the documentation archives photographed in Sala right?
I would buy a high-res facsimile of the UG factory archives as a sequel to Sala. Obviously, these documents exist somewhere. Who's going to find them and publish them?

That's predicated on those examples being redials. I'm not so sure.

No, I meant exactly those in Sala, but simply the publication of a facsimile of the complete records, which I believe extend beyond what Sala has reproduced in the book
